SCX10 2 Honcho $50 Budget Build Week 8 - DIY Servo Winch

[@kanyeistrash9802]

I don't even own a rc car but i want to get a trail honcho for my first car. These videos give so much inspiration and make me REALLY want an rc car. Gotta wait til August on my birthday 🥺. Anyway cheers for the awesome videos, from Australia 🇦🇺

[@coreykurtz1404]

Right on, the old servo winch, great touch!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

[@CPRC23]

Haha! 5 years later axial decides that spare tire is a nice touch..."we should mount a spare tire on the scx6 honcho" 🤔 nice touch👌 love watching budget builds,so much good info

[@toucanproductions2935]

You’re killing the intros. Even Josh is getting in on the action. Loving these videos. Thanks again guys.

[@scalebuildersguild]

We're having an immense amount of fun. Thanks for watching!

[@pacbeltrr38]

GREAT IDEA Matt!!! I've never done a Servo Winch, but what a multiple problem solver. On my Wraith Build, I really had no room for conventional Winch. With this, I just need to mount a Fairlead up front!!! Thanks for the great ideas!! Carmine 🚂

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad I could help, thanks for watching!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Now I can go through these, on my RC Channel, so I can save them. Carmine 🚂

[@derekloomis4874]

Definitely going in the spare servo bin and trying this! Didn’t realize it was that easy.

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's surprising what you learn! There are a few add-ons to make these more reliable, but the basics are the same.

[@raymondjenkins1967]

looks so much better with the spare mounted, your build has convinced me the trail hnco is going to be my 1st RC

[@scalebuildersguild]

Amazing!

[@kcbunn9239]

That is a great way to repurpose old servos. Thanks for showing us how to do that. Still very much enjoying this series and I look forward to a more open budget build off between you and Josh in the future. 🤙🏽

[@scalebuildersguild]

It'd be interesting to try and do a very budget-concious build, but tough to do one that doesn't have strict starting requirements.

[@NotStephenColbert]

This week's mod is really nice. I also liked the in depth guide you did for the rebuild and installation for it.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks very much! Glad it worked!

[@patrickcogdill3034]

Nice tutorial and I see that Loco peaking over your shoulder...

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep, lots to go, but coming along!

[@rctrek8818]

Great DIY video on the servo winch. Been wanting to try this on my JK. Honcho is looking great!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Give it a go!

[@mtnamok266]

Love the intro and the jokes with Josh. This budget build serie is the best idea since sliced bread!

[@scalebuildersguild]

And sliced bread was a pretty good idea!

[@scottcomeaux4168]

Nice mod for a old servo. I am going to try this on my scx10-2. Thanks for the info.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Anytime, thanks for watching!

[@theezZENtials]

this is a good one ... will do this for a rear winch one day

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice!

[@dragonflyjoyride]

Thanks Matt! I like learning about stock servos for this type of stuff. Always a little different with different servos. Your build is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see what is done next. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks very much, this was a fun week!

[@shadowsystemsrc9389]

I like the servo winch idea. Will have to try it for sure.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Give it a go!

[@dagsrccupboard1669]

Very useful stuff. Also great to see the steam Jeep and n00b's orange Hilux back there!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Yes, more to come on that build later!

[@BlindGuyRc]

Forgot how much this series is helping me with my ideas for the scx10 ii deadbolt project I just started on my channel Quak Rc, for its newly announced REBOOT. Im going to be ordering some stickers for support of your channel. Love all the work you do. 👍👍. Cheers.

[@shaunscott9622]

its a joy to watch your build

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks very much!

[@RCFunEveryday]

Definitely the best how-to explanation for a servo winch. Shame you don't have an easy 'better' mounting solution though. I'm sure you'll come up with something!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not to worry, got a few ideas brewing!

[@scaledphotography6448]

Loving all the different intros for the videos. Very funny

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! I had a great idea for next week but already forgot.

[@beechmountainrc1668]

That was the best tutorial on how to set up a servo as a winch I've seen. Great build, waiting for the next video!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Right on! Thank you for the feedback!

[@oldironsfury]

Nice👍 a spare, especially one with a different tread pattern is a nice touch. Not many people that I knew when I wheeled had a matching spare . If you factor in the cost of four matching “bigger diameter” off road tires, you were happy just to be prepared with a spare let alone matching tread haha, great video !

[@scalebuildersguild]

Haha, great point, one that I hadn't considered!

[@stacygardner507]

the servo winch is a really cool idea

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@ericviger4984]

I got several servos just hanging around. I gotta try this one!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Darn right!

[@chriscaruso9506]

your how to videos are great. so great that I'm buying a trail honcho. and already have plans for it

[@scalebuildersguild]

Woah! Right on!

[@davidz.2984]

I'm going to have try out a servo winch. Thanks for the tutorial. Awesome job 😁👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you for watching!

[@mje19D]

Used the spare tire idea. Definitely need a much longer alan bolt.

[@blizzardrc7024]

Awsome way to repurpose parts kickin around the work shop! 👍 . Spare tyre looks awsome. Can’t wait to see how u mounted the servo/winch in the honcho and see it in action! 🇨🇦👍.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sweet, thanks very much, glad you liked.

[@skinanbonesOG]

Finally a video on a servo winch that makes it easy to copy and explains everything. A couple questions why leave the plastic gear in the servo? won't it see more stress as a winch?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Hey Craig, yeah, that plastic gear will eventually give up the ghost, but considering the price of this servo new, I'm not too concerned. If I get a few dozen pulls, I'll be thrilled.

[@skinanbonesOG]

complete gear sets to rebuild are super cheap, but still have plastic gear. I have heard that there is a metal gear that shows up on ebay that drops right in place of the plastic

[@markzanger64]

Great video. Servo winch is cool.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Amazing, thanks!

[@hwy1rc]

You guys have a great budget build going on, really enjoying this

[@scalebuildersguild]

We're having a great time too, thanks!

[@triplesped]

One of the best yet keep them coming very informative thanks

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@dustinrenner7553]

Nice. I'm considering this. Thanks for the idea.👍🤔

[@scalebuildersguild]

Awesome, glad I could help!

[@Apcrawler]

Great video, and handy info. Thanks! You and Josh are doing a great series

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you very much!

[@gsgreenrcs3196]

Nice can’t wait to see what your build gonna be next week and your introduction

[@scalebuildersguild]

I've got some ideas brewing!

[@catchmp82]

Awesome mod. I learned something today!! Really appreciate it! Can’t wait for next week. Thank you!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice! Glad I could teach someone something!

[@hockeyrulesbigtime]

Thanks,You gave me an idea for something to work on...

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad I could help inspire!

[@riderdan65]

Hi! Great video ! Looking forward to see how you'll hookup this winch and how you'll make it fonction ( switch or remote) . I would prefer remote.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Definitely via remote on a 3 position switch.

[@sylvainvigeant4742]

Thanks for this next project...

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad I could inspire!

[@Dtdriver1257]

COOL 👍👍👍👍 Thanks for the tutorial. Definitely gonna try this one.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Give it a go!

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

Wicked & very informative tutorial on making a servo winch, thanks! Plenty of ways to make it a very cool accessory on not only Crawlers but other types of RC's. And a guy can make it with as beefy a servo as necessary for intended use. Would've never guessed that's what ya'll were up to on your Instagram post, lol. Another great episode added to a wicked series!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Awesome, thank you! Yep, all that changes is the strength of the servo!

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

Scale Builder's Guild - I do a varity of custom metal builds on my channel & I've honestly been meaning to investigate how to do this...from someone I know I can trust...ya'll are one & now I know how. Thanks again from one Crazy Canuck to another.

[@michaelthomas3262]

Fun Fun Fun 😂🤣😂 you are a pro to explain something 👍🏻 what do you mean 🤔

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@dennisfreebairn8754]

great explanation of the servo rehash for the winch, I will be doing this mod in the future, love your videos keep up the great work. dennis, south australia

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the feedback Dennis! Let me know how yours turns out!

[@trymyluck8]

Love the servo winch mod.. i had 20kg power hd laying on my part bin.. i kinda dislike the mounting on spare tire, just suggestions.. maybe put the spare tire flat to the honcho bed.. Funny and awesome video.. keep up!!! Cant wait for week 9 🙌🙌🙌

[@scalebuildersguild]

Flat spare? Like on the bed? It can easily be screwed down further if you're so inclined. Cheers!

[@trymyluck8]

Scale Builder's Guild hahahaha no need.. just my suggestion matt 👍😅

[@stevel2407]

Can we have a longer overall look at the honcho towards the end of the vid, cheers man u rock

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sure thing, I thought people would be bored looking at the same truck week in, week out.

[@stevel2407]

Scale Builder's Guild no way man we love the detail builds 👍

[@kanyeistrash9802]

I agree. Even like a little clip of the truck crusing down a trail with its new upgrades...for future videos?

[@jettthomas9453]

Learning alot from these 3 year old videos!

[@scalebuildersguild]

I’m glad they’re still relevant today! If you’ve got any questions, let me know!

[@rcvalley8706]

Wow that’s way easier than I thought!

[@scalebuildersguild]

It sure is!

[@drjavogel]

Love the intro. You have a future in comedy! Love the tutorial too. Honcho-tastic.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I was hoping for a future in tiny trucks, but heck, I'll take it! Thanks!

[@CasperRc81]

Is the routing of the cable and out to the front going to be shown? Like the idea. Or 3racing winch under $30 can be bolted onto the front with more detail. I’m sure the servo winch is crazy stronger!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yes, all will be revealed in an upcoming week. 3Racing winches are notoriously terrible. I'd stay away from those. I've had great success with RC4WD, TZi, Powershift RC, among others.

[@BlackSmithRC]

Thanks for all the mods and upgrades, bro! I appreciate the videos tremendously; MIDWID!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Happy to be of service! Thanks for watching!

[@Jim-xv7tq]

Cool video I know this isn’t a cheap mod but the sense innovations ess dual + is an awesome mod

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yikes, that's not cheap! I've done sound boards before, the Half-Track has one, and was about half the price. Needed a BEC though, so glitched out a lot. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@bryanheard6471]

How exactly did you mount the spare? I tried with the included carrier and it is way to short to mount like you have it on yours... loving the build off! Thanks!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

I used a long bolt, as mentioned in the vid!

[@chrispiersol6564]

Scale Builder's Guild so the tire is not accually sitting on the mount?

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

With the utmost of humbleness you were so right OB-1 the Loca Hauk is a masterpiece I should of used the force!! Honesty, I had no idea and I put my phone in my mouth.HUGE APOLOGY✌

You obviously haven't seen Episode 3 in awhile... ;) Thanks!

[@mikeymike3240]

Amazing tip for the servo, really easy to do for a tube like me. Lol Enjoying the different intros, very funny. Great video. 😀 👍 👍 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad I could help!

[@hendrixherrin4187]

What about setting it up with transmitter and winch line ?

[@scalebuildersguild]

That will come in later weeks.

[@robertrosson1990]

Good video how too man you 2 guys are doing a awesome job with the budget builds

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@EvaderKMP]

Pretty neat til it hits the water. Spare always looked pretty good on the honcho.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not sure what this means, but thanks?

[@EvaderKMP]

Scale Builder's Guild that tactic servo isn't waterproof is it?I was just thinking it would fail after getting dunked.

[@lunathegreenmachine3625]

Have you ever made a cage out of styrene I think a custom cage on the back made out of styrene would be really cool

[@scalebuildersguild]

Styrene is great for body construction, but it wouldn't hold up to the abuse a cage might incur, so I'd probably not try that. That said, a new cage could be a cool project down the road...

[@lunathegreenmachine3625]

Scale Builder's Guild I was just curious I'm going to start a tj crawler project and I though It would be cool to do the cage out of it but I'll just go to my hobby store and get some metal tubing

[@souledoutrc8174]

Honcho is coming out sick!! I’m loving it and what about upgrading the links or some more cosmetic upgrades.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks a lot! Yes, there'll be more cosmetic upgrades as we progress. The stock links are better than they look.

[@RcNickster709]

Great work bud. I am surprised this is your first servo mod.. Tire on the back looks good and adds some weight to the rig as long as it isn't too top heavy.. Looking good man. Look forward to the next one.. :)

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'm surprised myself. It's so easy, I really ought to do this all the time, and probably will from now on!

[@gordorc4585]

awesome video! love how the build is coming along and the winch i just gotta try!! thanks😎

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you very much! Give it a shot!

This weeks DIY was Such a big help I am saving this one and will be doing it on my truch soon! I have a 8ch radio and 3, 3 position switches that are not in use now , Can I just plug in the Servo Winch in to one of them for it to work?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yep, provided your 3 position switch is setup to 100, 0, -100 or something similar.

[@BSalc]

You’re amzing dude!...i have to give it to you 👍🏽👍🏽...way Better budget build for this week than Har.. ehem ...L3¥ 🤓

[@scalebuildersguild]

I dunno, Josh did a killer job on that fuel cell. But thank you!

[@gmummy]

On the scx ii kit, where does a servo winch fit? I didnt see anything on the instructions and cant seem to figure out how to mount it. I see there is a plastic fairlead type gizmo that I have attached. But for years I have looked for how axial engineered this to fit. Any advice on this would be of great appreciation.

[@scalebuildersguild]

The area directly behind the steering servo is designed to hold a servo winch. The Kit version includes the right parts for it, and I show how to make it work in an RTR in the upcoming episodes.

[@gmummy]

It certainly is.

[@crawlhardrc7852]

Loved Harleys vid where he put on the tatoo sleeves lol

[@scalebuildersguild]

His sleeves looked pretty good!

[@tamassimon6014]

Can you show it working and how to connect it to a receiver, if that was the point, to have it as a third or 4th channel? What did you do with winding it through the front bumper? A bit lost on the functionality of this mod.

[@scalebuildersguild]

More to come on all those points sir. Can't do it all in one video, as there's a lot more to do!

[@raptorrider0772]

How do you control the winch and what port do you plug it in

[@scalebuildersguild]

Upcoming video will describe this, but it's not possible with the stock radio, as there's no 3rd channel/3 position switch.

[@raptorrider0772]

my stock deadbolt controller has a switch on the side of it would that work fore it

[@marcusleader283]

Great vid like always. How long was the bolt that you used for the spare tire? I don't have a bunch of spare bolts laying around like most people.

[@MrThewhip333]

Thanks I’m fabbing a twin boom wrecker so I found a servo with dual output or horns. Electronics I suck at it’s going to be on wpl 6x6 so I will need a radio with more channels? Do I need different esc or speed controller?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry, don't know much about WPL. I presume you'll need a new radio with more channels to control your extra servos.

[@MrThewhip333]

Scale Builder's Guild thanks!

[@fredrieger5226]

Good tutorial on the servo winch, will try that. Where do you get the winch cable from? Same place as the spool? Thanks.

[@scalebuildersguild]

You can use just about anything for winch line, but I'll detail that in a later video. Cheers!

[@danytremblay6168]

Hello, I have a umg10 and I want to add a servo winch, I bought a servo but there is no little pin on the big gear and the center of the gear is metal, can I just cut the top of the potentiometer ? And why there is no pin ? I love you videos, thanks

[@scalebuildersguild]

Without seeing and knowing what type of servo it is (it sounds digital) I can't really help.

[@danytremblay6168]

@@scalebuildersguild I can send you a photo

[@danytremblay6168]

@@scalebuildersguild I finaly cut the top of the potentiometer after glueing it, puting it back together, installed the servo in my truck, configured the third chanel with my remote and it's working fine. Thanks for your video :)

[@blakepurdum]

Sorry. I know this is an old video. Does making a servo winch this way (keeping potentiometer) require another esc? You didn't say anything about a winch controller. So I'm just wondering if you can just plug it into the rx and you're good to go?

[@scalebuildersguild]

No it needs a controller, I believe (if memory serves) I handle that in the next video.

[@MikelangeloPhoto]

I realize I'm confused... does that servo winch work by simply plugging it into a 3rd channel in the receiver?? or do you need a separate controller of some kind? I didn't see it working in this video... sorry for my confusion.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Separate controller. I cover it in the next video.

[@Legoman585]

very cool

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@jasonbrunda7957]

Why if it says metal gear servo is there a big plastic gear inside

[@scalebuildersguild]

Great question - most of the gears are metal, so I guess they're not lying...

[@SmallADVentures1973]

It was indeed helpful,awesome tutorial,my friend,and something I'd like to try sometime (soon) as well :-D

[@scalebuildersguild]

Awesome, that's great! Thanks for the feedback!

[@RCPlayGround]

Nice build work video~ :D

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@gmummy]

Will a servo tester work to center it?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

GMUMMY no, a servo tester will only tell the servo where the pot should be positioned. The servo will then try to react to get to that position. That’s why you need center the pot manually.

[@gmummy]

Thanks for the response, makes sense. Did Harley get his tatts from Freaky Skinz?

[@WSquared60]

Really liked the servo winch trick, now I want to try it! Intro made me LOL on this one too :-) As much as I'm beginning to look forward to Wednesdays for this series, does that say you're that entertaining or my life is that pathetic? Ha ha.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Definitely means that I'm entertaining. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@STEVOD313]

Is this trick just for using a wench with these servos cuz I just got three of these for monster truck builds, for the steering, so do I need to do this for steering or just for wench use?👍👍👊👊📹📹I’m thinking this was a dumb question I’m sure it’s just for using wench,lol sorry

[@year1camaro]

so for this method you don't need and esc to operate the winch correct? Just plug into the 3rd channel? I forgot to mention nice instructional video, thank you. And that spool is a total rip off. $25 wtf.....No wonder more people are buying from china

[@scalebuildersguild]

You don't need an ESC, but I do recommend a winch controller like the one from HeyOK. I cover it in a later video. They work infinitely better than just plugging into a 3rd channel. Spool is good value and made in America, so I'll take that any time I can to support the little guy!
